Applying data warehousing principles to event processing

by Philip Howard,  Bloor Research

It is now pretty much agreed that in data warehousing environments you need a massively parallel processing (MPP) architecture in order to handle very large data volumes. The important factor is that you have local processing close to each disk in order to improve performance rather than moving all of the data to a central point and then trying to process it.

Now consider complex event processing environments where you have very large quantities of data. Shouldn’t the same thing apply?  For most of the vendors in the market the answer is no. However, these suppliers are typically focused almost exclusively on applications within capital markets.  Report
